The ruling on using ground soil in boxes for the sick and who has the right to intervene in issuing fatwas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your view on the soil sold in boxes, which they call "al-Sa'id al-Tayyib" (the noble dust), and which is given to patients in hospitals who are unable to perform wudu'? Is it permissible, or should they strike the wall or the ground and not use these boxes?
The Shaykh:
I have seen this, but I mentioned to you that a fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee. A sample made of sponge, saturated with dust, was brought to them, and they examined it. A fatwa was issued by the Committee regarding the validity of its use for the sick, limited to this, and it was generalized for hospitals. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, this questioner.
The Shaykh:
No one has the right to intervene in general matters. This is the concern of the Permanent Committee and the people of fatwa. No one should issue a fatwa on their own without doing anything and then generalize it to the people. Yes.
